The supply review process is the “other half” of the Supply and Demand Balancing process, and is critical for long term management of capacity and inventory. Demand planning offers an unconstrained plan, while the Supply Review arrives at a constrained plan with options for resolution or issues that need to be elevated to a higher level. During this session, we will review the basics of the Supply Review process, while sharing best practices and what should be discussed during the meeting. This will include important metrics, tools, suggested participants, the cadence to keep, and more. With practical takeaways, you will learn how to make the supply process in your own organization as lean and efficient as possible.
You will learn:
- How to develop your supply planning process and supply review for better S&OP
- Cycle timing – should planning and reporting be done in days, weeks or monthly buckets?
- How to leverage the Supply Review for strategic decision making
